Case Study: Town of Shelburne achieves smarter water management with Sensus AquaSense

Town of Shelburne - Customer Case Study

The town of Shelburne faced a challenge managing water resources for its growing population. With no surface water and peak usage becoming the norm, the town needed to reduce consumption, ensure conservation, and provide fair billing. Their outdated manual meter reading system was costly and inefficient. They sought a technology solution that would not overburden their small IT department, leading them to evaluate proposals from vendors like Sensus.

Sensus implemented its AquaSense smart water network, featuring the FlexNet AMI system and smart meters, as a complete turnkey solution. This provided the town with frequent, accurate billing data and immediate leak detection capabilities. The results included a significant decrease in overall water consumption, lower operational costs, and improved customer service. The implementation was rapid and caused minimal customer inconvenience, preparing Shelburne for future growth and potential system expansion.
